The majority of drainage work and concrete is complete and it’s hoped that milling and paving can begin within the next two weeks, according to Derek Poppe, Suffolk County Department of Public Works spokesperson. The milling work will be complete by mid-summer.

“They had originally expected it to be done in spring of 2019, so we finished quite a bit early,” Mr. Poppe said.

He added that by noon Friday, May 25, in time for Memorial Day weekend, there will be no more lane closures or detours.

“There might be some people out there doing work, but they won’t be causing any lane closures so that should help with the holiday traffic,” Mr. Poppe said.

The project also included reconfiguration of traffic flow at Boisseau Avenue, transforming a merging lane onto the eastbound county road into a normal right turn.

The $5.9 million cost has stayed constant, as predicted, according to Mr. Poppe.
